It is changing the way homes are being built, and the dynamics and interactions of neighborhood living. That's what makes it so provocative to me. We have a chance to move in a natural way with a national trend. We can encourage people to take wine to their front porches, but also to come to our front porches - virtual or physical places - and connect.Cheers,Jennie Haug Sales Manager Titus Vineyards What is interesting is that “porching” isn’t just a trend in Sonoma County, the article notes that it is impacting us as a nation.

I still think blogs are less effective to build a porch and wineries should spend more time on customer relationship. I think you are one of the few that will succeed with blogs. I liken it to a type of advertising. Not all work or are effective. Additionally, as more and more blogs emerge, the noise of winery blogs will become too much. Podcasting or VidBlogging are two simliar examples. Some will be great, and most will fail. I'd rather see wineries strongly focus on the fundamentals of e-business and customer service. However, again, you do a wonderful blog and yours is less about your wine and more about you and your experience. I think the same thing can be achieved through content changes and customer contact with higher ROI. For example, you have demonstrated GREAT customer service (allowing customers to help you choose your label, rewarding them for being loyal through customer rewards ala your tee-shirt). That is what makes your winery great more than your blog. You create relationships with your customers. That being said, a blog can operate as a "virtual porch" and your post was great.Inertia - Powering the Wine Revolution---Paul Mabray - CEO Great comments.
